No Christian I know would deny that some doctrines are more or less clear than others in Scripture. But when it comes to the atonement of Christ, Scripture is remarkably clear: Jesus Christ died on the cross for the entire world. The redemption that Christ merited through his passion and death was for every single human person who has ever and will ever live.

The Calvinist teaching of "limited atonement" denies this simple truth. We find this teaching in the Calvinist confessions'...

There are many matters involving faith and morals where there is room for legitimate differences of opinion among Catholics. As an apologist, I often get this question, especially now that we are in an election cycle: “What about the death penalty? What about war? What about immigration? Climate change? What about the right to health and education?” In fact, whenever these issues come up in dialogue, it always reminds me of an encounter I had some years ago.

"Where the bishop is, there is the community, even as where Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."

~ Ignatius of Antioch (Smyrn., viii, 2) circa A.D. 110, laid down this principle on true union with the Church, versus schism; all the more impressive because his casual use of the word "Catholic" demonstrates the widespread acceptance of the term at a very early date.
